A stunning collection of hand coloured cards from the early decades
of the 20th century. In the early 20th century the picture postcard
provided an immediate and direct form of cheap communication -
rather like text messaging today. Made by anonymous photographers
and hand-coloured by thousands of unknown women working in their
studios, hand-tinted cards became one of the most popular of art
forms. This extraordinary collection encompasses cards from
throughout the world including Africa and the Middle East, many
raising issues of colonialism, and exoticism, but many also just
celebrating everyday relationships, friendship and family. 'Painted
Ladies' provides a colourful and fascinating insight into the
fashion, culture and interests of the early twentieth century.
Midlands born Nick Hedges is a well-respected photographer in his
own right. His work has been published in a number of books
including the acclaimed 'Born to Work', and has been exhibited
widely throughout the UK.
